hey, guys Between these, the Etymotic MC5 and the RE-400, which one do you think suits metal better?   I mainly want to listen to electric guitars and vocal with a good amount to detail and I don't care much for the amount of bass.   Feel free to make suggestions.   Thanks

I am in the market for a new pair of $100 IEMs. I am coming from bass-heavy IEMs so I'm after something which will let me feel the bass. I am leaning towards the SoundMAGIC PL50 but the appreciation thread has some mixed feelings about the low-end. I'm also interested in the Etymotic MC5 because...

  Give your opinion on these. For me they are RE-0    

So, my beloved SoundMagic PL50 are not working properly, and it's killing me not being able to fully enjoy my music.  One of the ears plays music much more quietly than it should (about 30% of the other one); I have no idea why this started happening, but I need music!   I loved, loved...

hey guys i want to get some in ear headphones and i want the best quality for the price of 50-70 dollars.    please give me suggestions. thanks

I listen to a lot of K-Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, and House/Electronic music.   I have a couple of headphones in mind, but I'm not sure.   Some of the headphones that I've been reading reviews on: - Sunrise SW-Xcape - warm sounding re0, slightly more bass than the re0 and re-zero -...

Hey guys, I recently killed my CX300s by accident and am currently looking for an IEM upgrade from that. I've been reading through the forums and also a couple of other sites but havent been able to come up with a decision. I listen to a very wide variety of music from metal and rap to classical...

Has anyone that has owned a PL50 every have one of the driver casings split in half? I got these 3 days ago, and they weren't abused at all. Today when I wanted to use them again, I noticed the right driver casing had split in half. I also noticed that they used some kind of rubbery adhesive...

I think I pretty much narrowed it down to these 3 since they're all within my budget. I don't know which one I should get. any suggestions?

Hey guys, in the market for some IEM again as I am giving away my Panasonic because they just don't fit me right on the go. I value comfort the most on the go and have great memories of UM3x with W3 medium tips and would get them again if money is no item. Unfortunately I don't really use my...

Any of u guys know any IEM that feels comfortable for sleeping? one that feels like theres nothing on your ears when u use it :)

I've tried countless pairs of headphones. Among my favorites were maximo 590, where the wire snagged right away, and especially soundmagic pl50, which were by far my favorite, but the piece that the tip is supposed to go over broke off after a few months! Now I am once again looking for a good...

I'm looking to get a new pair of IEMs since I don't have any nice ones ever since I got my audio tech m50s and crave some more portable sq. I'm really interested in those flush sitting ones and I'd like to hear distinct mids since I love listening to the vocals all the songs I hear. Otherwise...

CNET just released an article about NOX Audio's "ridiculously good" $79 armature IEM.   The Article can be found here --> http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-20023078-47.html?tag=mncol   "I compared the Scout with a set of $180 Monster Turbine in-ear headphones (the base model Turbine)...

What other choice? CK10, Shure 535, FA-DBA-02 any other choice?  

$50.   I know this topic has probably been covered to death but I need some quick responses and dont have time to search through all the threads.   My mom wants me to find a pair of IEMs for my little cousin that are under $50.   He's no audiophile and likely thinks Skullcandy are...

Hey everyone, Christmas is getting close and I've decided I'm going to get some headphones for someone as a gift.  I have been around these forums a little (I actually bought the RE0's a while ago upon some suggestions from helpful people here).  Now I am try to take on the harder task of buying...

Hey   Sorry to be making another thread on this. I searched on it and found a couple, but unfortunately I was left with more questions.   I'm looking for a set of IEMs, at about 30$. I listen to a lot of rap/hip-hop, a lot of acoustic, and 90s pop rock (Third eye blind, nine days, etc.)...

Hey guys, this is my first post here and I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong section...   So I'm planning to get the Sony MDR XB500, and I was wondering if there are other headphones that are roughly the same price $60 that are a better choice than the XB500's.    Thanks 

Hello to everyone here at Head-Fi.org. I would like to buy new IEM for my Samsung Galaxy i9000. Currently I am using stock earphones (Samsung). I already ordered Kanen KM948 from Hong Kong (but they did not arrived for more than 30 days), so I am looking into buying budget IEMs.   These are...

Both $99NZ I don't like too much bass, and good highs are important. Thanks.

Hi, So the left side on my sony EX-51 died, such a shame, i really liked them. I moded my 51 to to improve the SQ and suit my style better, i sealed the holes until i got the result i wanted on the low end and replaced the paper cover on the tip. SQ wasn't a strong point of the 51's...
